@XX crump do you know the difference between idiots and idiot's?

Totally agree

The good ol' days is right!! The All-Star game today is shit

Is it hard to appreciate the old n new at the same time?

🤦🏾‍♂️💯

💯. Just like the Pro Bowl!

brian luciano so was Kobe’s what the fuck

Jeremy Mendoza where did Kobe get the fade-away from 🤣😂🤣

Aaron9 kobe is gone man...

The fade away in the beginning, air and hang time, foul line shot was sick!💯

Kobe duped it and perfected it too.

I agree 100% I still have this game on vhs!!!

+Fattah Hardiwinangun so true.

Yeah and they got to play against MJ before the Wizard years. MJ was 35 yrs old right here and was the best on that floor.

West Coast Paranormal Investigators he was 34

Not the same without da-bird

+Wyndamn Don't forget Young Duncan

+What To Put aww snap for real damn i missed that, my bad thanks for the heads up.

Wyndamn and to think Duncan wasn't in the league yet

DeAnte Stoneville he came in 97

DeAnte Stoneville you young as shit

Andeezzyy I remember watching it , I was 11 and came back to this video cause I remember when Kobe did the self pass and scored and it wasn’t travelling by the way

***** I could see us winning this year, The West is missing Kobe, CP3, and Westbrook. Though they still got KD, Duncan, Aldridge, Lillard, Harden, Howard, Love, Griffin, it's a scary team when you think about it still lol.

***** East wins now

The East is so weak now compare to back then. :( Only Miami & Indiana are the only teams that are actually good now.

***** Still gotta put Chicago in there. Even without D. Rose and Deng their still a feared team in the league. You see the way Noah is playing, had they had a healthy team this year, the sky would be the limit.

Chicago Bulls is my favorite team but they ain't title contenders (without Rose). :*(

Life is a simulation, i swear to god. When you hear things like that, what are the chances.

It was a fucking all star game

+JEREMY CHANNEL MJ: 23 pts 8 asts 6 rebs 3 stls on 57.0 FG% (All Star MVP) KB: 18 pts 1 asts 6 rebs 2 stls on 43.4 FG% You call that being equals? Really?!! SMH You Y2K and millennial kids are dummies LOL!! NOTE: MJ also led the East to victory in this game as well.

Are you blind? MJ was killing Kobe.

Nick Pagano Have you seen both Kobe and Jordan were the MVP candidates? And Kobe was only second year?

Edward Chu They were both about 7 or 8 years removed from their primes here. And Kobe's points weren't on MJ.

Dude he wasnt a rookie in this video......lol and allen iverson was mvp of the 96-97 rookie game not kobe

Second year

@@TheMrKobeBryant2012 Kobe barely played his first year so ofcourse Allen Iverson won

***** This isn't about personalities, it's about basketball. What, you gonna date one of them?

Realest comment I have ever seen on youtube.

wtf bruh you trippen. all these people in here are older players which makes them more appealing i guess. theres alot of good talent out right now, durant, james, kyrie irving, damien lillard, paul george, carmelo and theres alot more. lol you sound like a kid or a hipste,r sit down

Jo Momma I know right like these are already established players in 10 years when these new players careers are closer to ending then we can decide. The guy is a stupid hipster

Skywalker865 so basically you two are saying there are no established players in todays league only talents that may or may not be in HoF? still proving my point

Robert Sieniawski Not really idiot im saying when they are the ages of the guys like KG, Bryant and those guys in like 10 years then we can say whether or not. For their CAREER there are established players now fool

As a die hard Kobe fan, I also believe in respecting the game. Obviously, MJ is GOAT. The real question is who the next greatest? Kobe or Lebron. I believe Kobe is the second greatest player of all time. That's over Lebron, Magic, Bird, Karrem, Wilt, Russell. The closest thing we have seen since the great Michael Jordan is Kobe. Everyone wanted to be like Mike, including a 19-year-old Kobe.

But if you notice Jordan was over 50% for only his first seven years in the league. After 1991, he was shooting closer to Kobe's percentage. Do you know why?

@@TheMrKobeBryant2012 bc no more prime

You must have missed the spectacular 1:28 & 1:41 dunks, extra far 3 pointer 5:23, and that incomparable 5:12 passing to himself play by Kobe among his game's scoring, while Jordan's points were just ordinary.

@RIVERA CRESPO .. Am I supposed to ignore his spectacular plays against all stars? and prefer the ordinary boring scoring? Ok!

You sure are crazy. Kobe was 19 anyway. You should really open your eyes really wide to see this 1:52

Cedric Doumassy He got all that momentum without the ball and that was the highest he could jump. As I said, still less vertical then MJ.

Daniel Matos really its one play, kobes gotten a lot higher b4 and after that dunk

paolo-1283 nah they're just two different players lol

flo he’s right on sum shit tho n I’m a kobe fan frfr n jordan fan but look at jordan attention to details

paolo-1283 plus Jordan was more athletic n faster but kobe was athletic asf n kobe made alot of tough shots which he’s the goat at hitting

Yeah but KOBE make more then he miss JS lol

lsufa 👍👍

lsufa me 2 n you spitting real shit

a real kobe fan telling the facts

That was a cool pass though.

Who like Mike

SX BX those 5 games happened in April after the all star game

This isnt their rookie year

Ah youre right. So yeah i guess we have no answer to why AI wasnt an All Star his second year...

baldheadkid prob injury or in trouble or cause he played sg and wasnt gonna go over grant penny or mj

He was on east kobe was west lol

I agree Kobe is the closest its a pain in my ass when they say Lebron is better or the closest... For. Ring out loud Lebron has no mid-range game!

Ok boomer

Danny Jezzini Haha, you just said something dumb. That made me giggle.

@@Matt4licious ain't you??

He was being sarcastic, moron, he was shitting on Kobe for trying to steal his moves yet failing miserably. Kobe is the most overrated player in NBA history, a ball hog and nothing more. He shot a shitty percentage and just jacked up shot endlessly because he had Shaq and Gasol carrying him his entire career.

Omega Prophet Yet kobe leads all 2 guards in assists on the all time list

+Hunter12182 That has more to do with the # of seasons he played. NEWSFLASH: career totals regarding any facet of the game, DOES NOT REFLECT their impact on it. Because more totals can be amassed just by playing longer. Ask Karl Malone. Their career average is what tells us who consistently yielded the greater impact on the game, as far as that particular facet of the game goes. And it should serve you to know that MJ's Wizard seasons brought DOWN some of his career avg's, with assists per game being one of 'em.

I agree I've heard a lot of NBA players even admit that Kobe is the best one on one player. However, I still think that MJ is the GOAT.

+mrbam8 "I've heard a lot of NBA players even admit that Kobe is the best one on one player." That's just a dumb kobetard's way of trying to say that kobe's better than MJ on the sly, without being called out on it. Sorry, but I'm calling you out on it kid. Here's a challenge for you: name these players. Which of them have actually said this? And when did they say it? For once, I'd like for one of you millennials to actually start referencing these players specifically, rather than just making some blanket statement/claim, on what they've allegedly said. Because I've NEVER heard any NBA player say anything like this. In fact I'll go ahead and call that statement just what it is: A goddamn lie! But just for the sake of argument, why don't you go ahead and post the link to the video clip(s) of these players saying this, or better yet, cite the link to the article where they've made such comments? Go ahead kiddo...don't worry I'll wait...

Kobe's body is more beat than Jordan's was

It's not anyone's fault... :)

if kobe had a healthy body I think he can make more or most entertainment game and also he had a big chance to come back into nba finals and win the title

The only thing that any great player hate is "time"... You can't beat time.

+Think Noodles by the time he was 33 Kobe was banged up

Shouldn't have if in the dictionary as u will never see the flip side of it. --- MJ.

Controlling the big hand and hang time is also a skill, why? ask shaq he can't shoot free throws. only kawhi leonard has the same handsize with jordan that can actually control the ball.. MJ and Kobe have the same height and almost similar body type, so what's the excuse? Look at VC also almost similar feature with jordan, he has large hands too and i think he's better than kobe, it's just that he doesn't have the jordan mindset that kobe learned. Kobe always wanted to be MJ.

Bro. You are much smarter then the commenter and the 6 idiots that agreed with him. Lol

Georgios Karaspyros With ALL DUE RESPECT to the Dr., 'cause he's a legend, he was NEVER the "player" that MJ was. He was neither the defender or scorer that was MJ. That's just a fact.. The only thing that he and MJ have in common, is their incredible hands and graceful athleticism. But that's where the comparison ends.

I think that one has to understand that the game changed a lot in the mid '80s to what it was in the 70s...you can't compare scores cause it was a different game back then and defence evolved more in the 80s with Larry bird...different generation, that's all

No. he probably told MJ something like:"l whish some day I'll be as good as you are Mike" MJ probably said: "yeah sure, why not".
